7:18 pm
focused on her personal case some might say that she walked out of court for a while her fellow band members went back to jail so. i think she decided to get some real lawyers the won't be fighting in order to humiliate russia in the face of the worst but to actually free her one major russian concert organizers says they've been flooded with calls from foreign promoters offering to organize a pussy riot world tour that could earn up to six hundred million euros western and russian celebrities have called for the women's release amnesty international considers them prisoners of conscience free pussy riot t. shirts are all the rage. that's the way you attract attention. famous pop stars around the world look at the way we're done is dressed look at the look at all the others. we can do as well is that all we could do something different and they hated the idea who going into the cathedral and seeing the blood

7:20 pm
a particularly fantastic message when you're sending weapons to a country to seize using weapons against its people on a daily basis to kill to injure to crush protests to crush an essentially democracy but i think. the reason why why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep an eye like the hate is seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship while these governments don't realize that they've got to seems to realize they have a huge amounts of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince about her able to pressure them into reform perhaps they misunderstand the strength they have will perhaps you know that they're scared that their interests which are tied up in that region could be damaged if they you know if there was a democratic change but the reality is the people of bahrain a political democracy that calling for change i didn't have to be against the west entrance that she could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world the democratic and stable country iran says it might consider
